CrossHatch wine is truly one of a kind. Every bottle from CrossHatch Winery is handcrafted as a co-fermented blend sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards. A small production women-owned and operated winery, only 1000 cases are produced each year.
It began with the idea of cross hatching––an artistic technique that uses closely spaced intersecting lines to create shading, definition, and form in a drawing.
We took this technique and adapted it into the winemaking process by harvesting multiple varietals on the same day, then crushing and fermenting them together. This elevates and creates flavors in the wine that would not have existed otherwise. Some of the best and oldest wines in the world are made this way, and the microclimates of Santa Barbara add another rich layer that distinguishes our wines from any other.
